TASTING NOTES
Strikingly pure, the remarkable taste of Vodka 14 confirms the top-end pedigree of its ingredients and the excellence of its craft distillation. Vodka 14 goes down smoothly without a trace of burn, and the hand-selected grain blend gives it character, depth and a suggestion of sweetness on the tongue before the graceful finish.
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING
Vodka 14 has garnered rave reviews from reviewers and tasting panels all over the country. Here is some of what people are saying about Vodka 14: |
 |

“Wonderfully clear and pristine. Shows a solid, grainy, cracker-like aroma right from the beginning; more time in the glass brings out mildly pleasing notes of nuts, parchment, and palm oil. The palette entry is smooth, a little toasty, and very refreshing; the midpalate stage highlights the deep grain taste along with touches of smoke and spice. Aftertaste is long, lean, and properly grainy/spirity, with a dash of prickliness on the tongue.”

“A cut above even other boutique vodkas and positively crushes mass-market brands. […] It starts with the clean nose, which bears hints of grains and rye and lacks the pungent, gasoline burn that comes with opening a bottle of most vodkas. Upon tasting, the vodka remains exceptionally smooth throughout, with floral notes and light sweetness gracing the flavor on its way to a crisp, flawless finish.”
